NSW Multicultural Health Communication Service
Promotion of ServiceMulticultural Communication has recently
developed two resources designed toillustrate its role in making available
important health related information to CALD communities in NSW. In conjunction
with a talented artist/photographer, TDellosa, the two resources bring vivid
images of people in a range of age groups, reflecting today's Australia. This booklet, a small sized 14x14cm, succinctly describes the various functions performed by MHCS. It gives an overall picture of its many roles, with illustrations of some of the recent MHCS marketing campaigns. It also describes the role and function of the website. The booklet will also be available online. An easy to read information folder (A4 size) encompasses in greater detail the various campaigns MHCS has been involved with in 2005, including photos of the launches. The campaigns were: Smoking Cessation (2), Breast Cancer Awareness and DADHC. It also includes a description of projects already underway for 2006. The Andrology, Quitline, and Local Government Multicultural Health Communications Awards projects. A message from the Director and an image of the new website are also included.
